The rapist climbed a ladder to the balcony and entered through unlocked sliding glass doors, Anderson said. The assailant told the woman he had a knife and threatened to kill her.

The victim could not provide a description of her attacker, but a neighbor saw a red car leaving the area in a hurry, Anderson said. Anyone with information is asked to call the department at 830-3826.

Police do not believe the rape is related to one that happened early Thursday at the Habitat Apartments, 2504 S. Conway Road in Orlando, Anderson said. An intruder entered through sliding glass doors and raped a woman in a ground-floor apartment.
